The American Bus Association (ABA) will relocate its headquarters to a new, centrally located space on Washington D.C.’s Capitol Hill, just steps away from the U.S. House of Representatives and the United States Department of Transportation. 

The move, scheduled for April 1, is part of ABA's ongoing efforts to right-size its workspace, optimize operational efficiency, and refocus resources on creating value for its membership.

Rightsizing Operations

With 75% of its current office space underutilized, ABA has decided to strategically divest its existing real estate holdings. 

The asset's sale will free up significant resources, allowing ABA to invest more directly in initiatives that support its mission of helping members grow their businesses and creating a better regulatory and legislative environment for motorcoach and charter bus operators and the group travel industry.

"This strategic relocation marks a significant milestone in ABA’s plans for expanding member value creation,” said Terry Fischer, ABA’s chairman of the board. “By strategically rightsizing our headquarters, we ensure that ABA remains agile and better positioned to focus on what truly matters — supporting our members and driving the future of the motorcoach, charter bus, and group travel industry."

ABA’s New Headquarters

The new headquarters will offer a modern, collaborative environment that reflects ABA's commitment to innovation and team development. 

Its proximity to key government agencies will enhance the association's ability to engage with policymakers on critical issues affecting the group travel industry.

"Our planned relocation to Capitol Hill represents a pivotal step forward for ABA," said ABA’s President/CEO Fred Ferguson. "By optimizing our workspace, we will also create a more modern workplace environment that can better support the needs of our dynamic team, recruit top talent, and enhance our abilities to advocate for policies that help our members succeed in today's challenging regulatory landscape."

Until the official move is completed in spring 2025, ABA’s current mailing address and phone number will remain unchanged for all communications, mailings, and inquiries. 

ABA will provide further updates regarding our new address, mailing procedures, or any other information that members and outside stakeholders may require as the move progresses.
